Google offered Oracle 0.5 percent of Android revenue on one patent until it expires this December and 0.015 percent on a second patent until it expires in April 2018. Oracle told Google to go forth and multiply.

Last week, the jury decided that Oracle had proven copyright infringement for parts of Java. But the jury could not unanimously agree on whether Google could fairly use the code.

This meant that Oracle cannot recover damages on the bulk of its copyright claims. District judge Alsup has to rule on some crucial bits of law which will determine how a retrial will play out.
